WINTER SQUASH 
Culture Sow the seed about July 1st, using an ounce of 
seed to 10 hills, or 8 to 10 seeds per hill. Thin to three plants 
per hill. When harvesting winter squash, do not bruise or 
break the stems. 
IMPROVED HUBBARD The old standard Hubbard 
squash which has never lost its popularity. We offer 
our own improved strain, which we grow ourselves. 
Flesh bright orange-yellow, skin dark green and 
rough, slightly warted. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; % lb., 
40c; lb., $1.25. 
WARTED HUBBARD Similar in all respects to Im¬ 
proved Hubbard, except that the very dark green 
skin is much more warted. This seems to be the 
favored variety at present. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; x /\ 
lb., 40c; lb., $1.25. 
RED or GOLDEN HUBBARD Similar to Improved Hubbard, 
but smaller and of a deep golden red color. Matures a 
little earlier, and extremely popular. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; 
ki lb., 40c; lb., $1.25. 
Warted Hubbard 
BLUE HUBBARD Has the general shape of the Hub¬ 
bard squash family, but the outer shell is a bluish- 
green color and is comparatively smooth, though not 
entirely so. The flesh is a golden-orange color, and 
cooks dry. Keeps well, as do all the Hubbards.

GOLDEN DELICIOUS This we offer for the third 
time this year. The squash is top-shaped in form, 
medium sized, the flesh orange colored. One of the 
most attractive squashes we have ever seen, and a 
wonderful keeper. We recommend it very highly 
for market or home gardens, as its fine qualities will 
appeal to all. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; Y\ lb., 40c ; lb., $1.50
